#PARACETAMOL, #NIMESULIDE AMONG 14 FDC DRUGS BANNED OVER ‘RISK TO PEOPLE’

Union #HealthMinister On 2nd June Banned 14 Fixed Dose Combination #Drugs
The notification issued by the Ministry emphasizes that there is "no therapeutic justification" for these FDC medicines. Fixed-dose combination drugs refer to formulations that contain a combination of two or more active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in a fixed ratio. Image
The decision to ban these drugs follows the recommendations put forth by an expert committee, which thoroughly examined the available evidence and assessed the potential risks associated with these medications. Image

The idea of #Khalistan was created by politician Jagjit Singh Chohan after he lost an #election in 1969 and went to #UK where he was tapped by #ISI just like Hizbul Mujahideen chief #Syed Salhuddin, who too lost an election.

He then went to #Pakistan to meet Yahya Khan in 1971 who funded him to start #Khalistan movement.

Chohan lost election because he & his ideology was REJECTED by #Punjab. Today, this junk ideology is supported by:

#AgeOfDeception: “#Washington is filled with politicians and organizations that hyperventilate about government #debt and the burden it imposes on our children, but they ignore the burdens imposed by #patent and #copyright monopolies granted by the government.” Image
“Suppose that we were spending another $50 billion a year on medical #research in order to replace #patent supported research, and all the findings were placed in the #public domain so that all #drugs were sold as #generics. ...
... The annual #deficit would be $50 billion higher due to the additional spending on research, but we would save $380 billion a year on drugs due to generic pricing.”

In Ecuador, they began to build buildings from cocaine.

There are so many seized drugs that there is nowhere to put them.
2/ The authorities of Ecuador found a way out and decided to take the braces with coke to the treatment plant, where they are processed along with the waste.
3/ Cocaine is mixed with cement, sand and water, and the resulting mixture is used as a foundation in the construction of warehouses .

There's no friendly way to put this:

The new CDC Opioids Guidelines are a farce when it comes to saving patients' lives.

usatoday.com/story/opinion/… #chronicpain #opioids #opioidcrisis #fentanyl #lawenforcement #drugs #politics #health #disability #disabled #cancer #addiction #pain
The CDC 2022 update is not meant to reform the guidelines

It's meant to absolve the CDC of guilt & wash its hands of an opioid prohibition & crisis it helped create

usatoday.com/story/opinion/… @elizableu @yashar @chadfelixg @conor64 @lhfang @stillgray @joerogan @TaylorLorenz
Christopher Jones, acting director of CDC’s National Center for Injury Prevention & Control

Said the guideline is about "improving the lives of patients living with pain.”

Then why did the CDC push further & deeper restrictions against patients?

Drug addiction in Kashmir is India’s opium war on Kashmiris [a thread]
Kashmir is one of the most densely militarized regions in the world. on top of 650,000 Indian soldiers, there are 100,000 plus local police including different militia #freekashmir #drugs 1/n
the counter-militancy grid is tight. almost all 8 million Kashmiris & all neighborhoods are accounted for. often you must declare with the local police or army camp your house guests; the same goes for wedding parties or big events. #freekashmir #drugs 2/n
collaborators, spies & drones are ubiquitous. there are hardly any isolated places where civilians feel safe to venture without permission from the army. india says militancy is at an all-time low; #freekashmir #drugs 3/n

1. A tweet thread on over-medicalisation and over-medication under capitalism, based on my blog post on @biopoliticalph:
1. I’m surprised that there’s controversy over the claim that people are over-diagnosed and over-medicated in a laissez-faire capitalist society.
2. The medical establishment is part of a capitalist order that classifies and commodifies everything for profit, including human emotions and behaviours. Capitalism also suppresses dissent and resistance in order to maximise profit at the expense of workers’ needs and interests.

Research says most people who use drugs are men. And many people think there is no reason to involve #women in #drugpolicy. But they are mistaken. The drug phenomenon is not #gender neutral.

Why a #feminist perspective is essential 👉💡🧵...
Due to gendered norms and notions of #femininity that are incompatible with #drugs use, the complex realities of women are often ignored. However, a growing movement is trying to shift this perspective to better understand the unique challenges that female users face.
Let’s have a closer 👁️👁️ why…

#Women who use drugs are often judged because they don’t comply with socially constructed #norms and challenge the traditional role of women.

The Coffee farmer in South america and Africa gets Eur4/kg and exported beans after being roasted in Eurpope is sold at EUR 30/kg. More than 7 times the cost. All the margins go into Swiss pockets. Why Roasting Coffee in India does not make it as expensive?
Jasmine oil from India is $5500 per kilo.
J'adore from Dior France is $148,000 per kilo.
If you apply Jasmine essential oil from India without Dior branding, you can enjoy same perfume for $5.
SO, THE BIGGER QUESTION IS : WHY IS J'ADORE SO EXPENSIVE?
This is due to marketing costs and brand name prestige. Immense corporate greed by western companies is the only reason to justify the massive, excessive mark-up (7 to 30 times in some cases).

Is greed any justification to do business like this?

It's highly adharmic.

🧵 on Twitter and Mu*k, from the perspective of a journalist/activist from #Singapore (me)

1/ I am from a country that has significant issues with civil, political, and human rights. But my government also puts significant effort into public relations to bolster its reputation.
2/ I'm constantly meeting people who have no idea that, in #Singapore, you can be arrested for holding up a placard in public. That 11 men have been executed this year for #drugs. That we have serious issues with press freedom and media diversity.
3/ In this context, Twitter has been, and is, an extremely valuable tool in allowing me — a freelance journalist and activist with limited resources and no big institutional backing — to talk to people outside of #Singapore about our problems.

I would love to hear @POTUS @JoeBiden use the bully pulpit to articulate a redemption narrative around his shift in policy. #USA #drugs #law #policy #amends #repentance #repair
It is the right thing to do — the #USA is in a revolutionary, transformational moment, change is happening so quickly — and would be an example of accountability for past harms done, of #repentance and #repair, an #amends. #drugs #law #policy @POTUS @JoeBiden
Heavens knows former Pres. Trump used the bully pulpit to spew hate, slurs, mockery; he never accepted accountability nor showed contrition or #repentance, nor made #amends for problem behavior. #USA #drugs #law #policy #accountability #repair

The 'default mode network' (#DMN) is the neurobiological poster child for #psychedelic #drugs (e.g., see #HowToChangeYourMind). A preliminary meta-analysis from the @PsychedelicUNIT suggests this might be overstated, w/ other regions being more impacted, like ye olde cerebellum. Image
These results are from 'classic' #psychedelics like #LSD and #psilocybin taken by healthy people during resting-state neuroimaging. We used dose as a covariate. A possible caveat is that we mixed blob and functional connectivity analyses which we will now try and model.
The details will soon be in a preprint and we will make the code and larger dataset publicly available. We hope this will help others to address their own questions with further meta-analyses. For example, we asked....
